Embeleso Rioja Graciano Organic 2012
About the wine
Multi award winning Gorka has gone and done it again...
- This wine took home it's very own trophy at the IWC - and little wonder...
- This is a wine for the real wine buffs. Decant it, sip it, sniff it - and you'll taste all of the beautifully juicy plummy, bramble fruit flavours that makes this grape one of Spain's finest unsung heroes.
- Winemakers usually keep this for themselves to enjoy with their tapas in the evening. Grab yourself a bottle and give it a try - with as much crispy chorizo as you can handle!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gorka Etxebarria
- He's a gentle, modest young guy with very little to be modest about. After all how many winemakers his age have managed to win 90 points from the world's most influential wine critic, Robert Parker
- Burgo Viejo is owned by 6 families of farmers, not winemakers or salesmen. They used to simply sell their grapes and never see the true products of their labours. Then Gorka came to save the day and showed them exactly how good their grapes were!
- His second love is head banging guitar...and having tasted his wines, and heard his music, we should all be grateful that wine is his first love! Save everyone's ear drums, support this winemaker in his fantastic contribution to Spanish wines.
